I remember participating in this way back in the day, but we mustn't have used the Ranger's Manual and standard way of earning cards. The guy who organised it put together a big spreadsheet of different things you could do in a game (like "kill the ring bearer" or "play a southron", and you earned points for completing each task. My friend at the time (11-12 years old) did something very smart - he looked at the spreadsheet and just built a deck with all the easy deck building ways of earning points, and ended up getting all the promos in week 1 by getting so many points just through the deck building process. Next week that particular loophole was closed (maximum of x points per deck, or something). But my friend didn't care - he'd already got all the promos in week one. We must have played this a little later than it originally came out (we played our altered league just after The Two Towers had come out), because of course there were no Southrons in the game at the time of original release of this league, and that was definitely one of the deck building ways of gaining points I still remember to this day. Nice trip down memory lane!
Really enjoy videos like this and I remember playing in this league! I took the window cling and put it on a clear sheet and then used it as the cover of my trade binder. The only thing I remember that's missing (and maybe these came from later leagues) but I have a nazgul and an elf pin that I got from some lotr league.
The holy grail

Nice find!
I can see why the window cling would be in demand.
Oh my God.❤
